Spring is almost here, and Denver galleries are blossoming with group shows and musings on the environment alongside a pop-up retail art experiment, exhibits designed to change the way you think and a foray into performance art. Here are the goods.

Tuesday is caucus day. What does that mean? Simply put, it's the most grassroots way for you to participate in helping decide who the next candidates for office will be, but particularly the next governor. The Democrats and Republicans caucus differently.

I have really enjoyed having my kids at this school. I think it's very well administered. The Principal really cares and is very hands on. The community at the school is very inclusive. Teachers are great, and most important they truly impart a Christian education. I would recommend this school to parents who want their kids to have a great education and a great moral education.

A proposed text amendment to the Zoning Code sponsored by Councilman Espinozo if passed, would require CPD to send written notifications by mail of any proposed rezonings to all owners of property within a 200-foot radius of the property proposed for rezoning, both before a Planning Board hearing and the City Council public hearing.
This would improve notification to neighboring property owners. Currently, Registered Neighborhood Organizations receive such notice (thanks to the 1979 ordinance sponsored by INC), but some parts of the city do not have RNOs and some RNOs do not have active zoning committees or regular meetings to discuss rezonings.
Several cities in Colorado and across the United States have such notification requirements.
The Planning Board hearing on this proposed text amendment will be on April 18 and the City Council hearing will probably be on June 18.
